Ok, already got my review for my trial article: "Overall, looks pretty good!" Now she wants to send me a full-length article to do. (This one was very short.) I hope this all doesn't drag on and on... this is all unpaid, and I have to squeeze it around my paid work. :rolleyes:

I returned it a few hours ago. They said they will look it over and let me know within a day or two. I feel pretty confident, but... who knows. Now we wait... :oops:

My turnips are sprouting. I've never tried to grow turnips before, so this makes me happy. Just thought you should know. P.S. I guess this is the true sign of getting old... from "hey let's hit the club" to "my turnips are sprouting." 😟

Merry Christmas everyone from The Zogs, Zog Jr., and the Zog Dogs! 🎄 May your days be merry and bright! 🎄
